When we say American food, what quickly would come in to mind would be those thrown in the Grill and then mashed up with tons of onions, melted with cheese, and then placed between two pieces of bread. Upon biting one of those, one's world suddenly stops and just reflects on the flavors that just entered one's mouth. Yes, we are talking about the good ol' American Cheeseburger. And in the words of renowned chef, Bobby Flay, it doesn't get any more American than this. But in the great city of Philadelphia, they have yet made their own trademark. They have combined the juiciness of that beef, with the flavors of that sweet onion, and the stamp of that melted cheese, with their own version and touch of added flavor. Yes, we are talking about the Philly Cheese Steak. Yes, it is like steak on a bun; and this is exactly just how we like it!

But this is not only what this city is known for. Philadelphia is also known to many top sports teams in America. Whether you are a hockey, baseball, basketball, or Football fan, they got it all! The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the Stanley Cup winners in NHL and have made their mark in the league. The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the Major League contenders who have been also one of the most popular teams. The Philadelphia 76ers is without a doubt, one of the most victorious teams in the history of the NBA. They have been up there and have suddenly become the underdogs now soaring back to where they belong. And when you talk about NFL, there is, without a doubt, that you would be able to raise an eyebrow and deny the Philadelphia Eagles. From its history, this team has already won 3 NFL titles and has made two Super Bowl Appearances (1980 and 2004). It is without a doubt that this team which started at the year 1933, as purchased by Bert Bell, has been a notable force in the brutal competition in the NFL. This gives the people of Philadelphia yet, another reason to be proud of their great city.

If you would notice, almost all of the sports teams of Philadelphia would attach some meaning or connection to flying and soaring high. And yes, this was not only beautifully placed and planted to the names and logos of the teams, and it was lived on and delivered by them as well. Philadelphia should be proud for not only are they participating in the various sports leagues, but they are also very prominent in these. The city should be very proud of their teams as they are able to give pride to the great city of Philadelphia. Whether in the NHL, MLB, NBA, or NFL, they do practically excel in these and are respected in every division. That is not something common to all cities. If politics and city spirit would go together, hey, why not push those cheese steaks to the grill during those games?
